When Camilla and I realized that our friendship this fall celebrates ten years, we thought something special was needed to mark the anniversary. So we created a set of cups in our own specialities – Camillas illustrations paired with my ceramics. Making a set of cups feels like the ultimate way to celebrate friendship and moments of togetherness.
Everything will be ready and available this Sunday in manos webshop. We’ll keep you posted! The cups are now available for purchase in manos webshop!

manos is represented in the trend report 2013 in Elle Interior 
Erika Uenos fantastic small wool throw is included in the “forest green” trend and her linen room divider, Karin Erikssons “devil cup”, towels from Axlings and Växbo Lin are all included in the “tactile” trend. Thank you!
In the same Elle was this bathroom from a flat in Brooklyn. I would be very happy to have it in my flat too – light, relaxing, beautiful all at the same time.

Dreams on the closet. Close up.
The Progress report show is over and I’ve taken a couple of Dreams home with me… Two now lives on the closet door and the pink dream sits next to a log bowl from Loyal Loot and three of my men – two ceramic ones by Jane Muir and an anonymous Italian in oil.
Pink dream and three men.
The Dreams collection can be viewed here. The future holds more Dreams in store and they’ll be travelling west in the spring!
The next exhibition at manos will be ceramics by Elisabeth Ottebring, opens October 22nd.

Lime and mint soap with sea kelp on top of a Leaves dish.
Late summer news from manos: eco friendly soaps from skinnyskinny (not only the soaps are eco savvy, but the whole way they run their business) – for instance “Lemon and Blood orange” and Rose and Black pepper.
Hand thrown porcelain cup with grass or leaves pattern.
I’ve also added two new products from me -a porcelain cup and a small dish.
We’ve been trying out both at home all spring. The cup is quite lovely with coffee or tea or even to just let a rose float in it… On the small dish we have served sushi and chocolate, we’ve used it as soap holder and to put the tea bag on, it’s also great for putting the cooking spoon on while it’s not used for stirring food (the spoon that is). All in all a pretty handy dish.

I managed to get home just before the storm – thick hails knocked on the windows and the rain was pouring down. Phew.
Thank you for ordering so many of our “dreams”, we are delighted you like them! Most orders will be sent out in a couple of weeks time, when the show is over but the web only items are already on their way. I’ve wrapped them using bits of pages out of a book I was reading when I was last in Gothenburg, visiting Camilla. It was Evan Hunter’s “Mothers and daughters” and it was a really old copy, totally falling apart. I thought it looked nice like this.
Pink Dream no 38 Bigger here.
I’ve added a few more web only items, as well as a lovely pink piece – thick, creamy pink with a chocolate coloured dream on top.

Dream no 47.
The Dreams are now available in manos webshop. Thank you all for cheering us along and giving us feedback. We want even more – this is a progress report – only a step on the way. We already know some things that we want to take further and we hope to take on board all the feedback we get from showing our work half way through the project.
The Cake is sold!
You will notice that not all the items are decorated – at least not so that you would notice. We are curious to see what you will think of this. We are vizualising the dreams together – some have clear faces and even stories built up when they come apart (or together) others are Zen-like, calming to go with the faces and the stories – or to be just on their own. Some items we have already placed together and the rest we leave up to you to mix and match. They like each other and we hope you will like them.

It’s been a sweltering week in manos’ greenhouse, but the workshop keeps nice and cool. The shop re-opened on Thursday and I had a few stray visitors that even managed some shopping in the heat.
The “progress report show” of mine and Camilla’s collaborative work is up and basking in the sun. People who have come to see it laugh and that makes us happy.
It’s good to get some feedback, especially knowing that we will be able to make changes and to develop the work further if we want to. It’s like the feeling I get when Camilla shows me a painting she’s working on saying “I might take all those trees away, and that figure might look completely different when it’s ready”…

See more of the “progress report show” here. The “Dreams” will be in the webshop on Wednesday afternoon, until then Ciao.

I spent some days with Camilla working on what we’re calling our “DREAMS” collection (as in the delicate cookie with a touch of vanilla flavour or perhaps as in our dreams and aspirations) . This time around, we’re working more with tactility, integrating the patterns with the ceramic shapes, combining pieces into little sculptures… You’ll see and we hope you will like! The “progress report show” opens at manos Thursday August 6th and the pieces will be available in manos webshop on Wednesday August 12th.

manos now has a sales category, it’s mostly my ceramic odds and seconds yet and it is added to regularly.
Some of the things are ’seconds’, with visible or invisible faults. I often think that a flaw can add to an object and make it more interesting. Not always of course, but sometimes…
